THE SURVIVAL CODE - Highly Rated UK Rock Duo Reveal New EP Plans!

THE SURVIVAL CODE will follow up on the release of last year's hugely
successful sophomore album, Hopelessness Of People, with the release of a
brand new EP, Crosses To Carry, Coffins To Fill, out on Friday 16th August,
through Good Deeds Music.

If you are yet to discover THE SURVIVAL CODE, then you've certainly been
missing out. The band are a London-based rock duo with an unabashed passion
for riffs, soaring melodies and thunderous drums. Long admired for their
driven and energetic live performances, the two-piece serve up intense and
brawny rock cuts that lodge deep into your senses. To date, the duo have
racked up rampant support from many industry tastemakers, picking up
exposure from Kerrang!, Classic Rock, Powerplay, Fireworks Magazine, and
Rock Sound Magazine, as well as widespread radio support from Kerrang! Radio
and Planet Rock.

Formed back in 2012 by Dubliner Gary McGuinness (vocals/guitar), THE
SURVIVAL CODE became a two-piece during the making of their 2018 release,
Hopelessness of People, which is the band's most successful and notable
release to date. During the recording, the alt-rockers finally locked down
their ideal formula spawned by a great relationship with producer Matt Hyde
(Trivium, Slipknot, Ash), who helped create the sound and live show that
remains with the band to this day. The other half of THE SURVIVAL CODE is
Simon Hartop, who is best known for drumming in a 00's pop/rock band called,
The Barbs.

The twosome's forthcoming EP, Crosses to Carry, Coffins to Fill, is the
first recording the duo have done together as Simon joined TSC in August
2018 - just in time for the release of the album and tour early in 2019.
Vocalist and Guitarist Gary McGuiness comments about the release: "The new
EP mixes all the catchiness and impact of our last album and blends that
with our energy packed style which we always bring live, but hasn't always
translated into the recorded music. The energy and live performance is so
much a part of the DNA of the band and having that on the record captures
exactly what TSC is all about. We couldn't be more excited to get the tunes
out there."

THE SURVIVAL CODE will continue their ascent with the release of a series of
videos to coincide with the EP, as well as a string of Autumn tour dates.
